Healthy boundaries are something that is very, very hard for many men and women. When the feminine can begin to honor her needs, everyone starts honoring their needs. A lot comes from the longing and yearning within the feminine. There's pleasure within the yearning and that's a catalyst for a lot of change. So, if women can learn how to protect their sacred space, I think we'll get a lot more done and honor ourselves so much more. - Maddy Moon How can you set up healthy boundaries in order to focus on yourself in either your feminine or masculine role?

Power Quotes From The Show "Whenever you're looking to be more into your feminine flow, it doesn't mean to look graceful all the time. You can be in your grace and be in your fury at the same time." - @MindBodyMusings http://bit.ly/wfpodcast "I've done this work over the past couple of years when it comes to experiencing first kisses and breath is what helped me the most. Every time I experience that first kiss, I acknowledge that shiver that runs down my spine. That's number one - not to ignore it, not to push through it, not to pretend that it's not there and I think so many of us do that. We think that if we're able to get over this sexual shame, then we'll finally be able to enjoy sex and get back into our bodies and feminine flow, but that's not really what happens. We have to use these experiences as a portal. I can experience a delicious first kiss through feeling that shiver through breath; not by ignoring it or pressing it." - Maddy Moon "I am an expert at being and living in this body. Archetypes are just so many things that we already have within ourselves so anyone can get into their feminine flow. What it means to be in your feminine flow is to be in all different parts of ourselves and embody all of our emotions including anger and frustration." - Maddy Moon "Why do you hide your pleasure? In this world that's suffering from a lack of female enjoyment, why don't you bring your pleasure as a gift to the world? Pleasure is seen as love to the masculine; it is the same. It is the same. You can still find pleasure somewhere inside your body regardless of what else is happening in your life. It doesn't mean having to put any type or small morsel of pleasure on hold until you get through this fight that you're having with your partner. What if you use that fight to embody your anger and still find some ounce of pleasure in your body at the same time." - Maddy Moon "If you're really in you're feminine by being loving, open, and creative but also surrendering, you might be taking on this mother archetype of nurturing. If you don't have boundaries as this nurturer, you often end up giving your energy to everyone. The line is really blurry on when do you say 'no,' because you're using your head a lot and worry about what others think of you if you don't help them. There's that primal need of being liked again; it's always there unless we're listening to it and understanding how it's getting in the way. It's not up to us who likes us. That's a sure fire way to waste our time here on Earth; to go around trying to control how people view us and if they like us." - Maddy Moon "Healthy boundaries aren't set to get you what you want. We set boundaries because that's a way we can step into our power and protect our sacred space. That's what allows us to say, 'I'm not doing this; this is not okay for me.' Boundaries look different for every single person. Whether or not the other person listens is not up to you. If you're trying to set boundaries solely to get what you want, you're very likely going to end up frustrated because you can't control how people respond." - Maddy Moon Links From Today's Show Maddy Moon Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube LinkedIn Mind Body Musings Podcast Mind Body Musings Podcast episode 199 Josh Trent 31 Experts Share Their Juiciest Ways to Harmonize Your Feminine and Masculine Energies Attend a John Wineland Workshop Experience 4 Ways To Create Vulnerability With Your Partner 8 Ways Perfectionism Is Keeping You From Enjoying Sex 5 Ways Embracing Feminity Has Transformed Me Events and Retreats with Maddy Moon Coaching with Maddy Moon The Perfection Myth by Madelyn Moon Freeing Your Feminine Spirit by Madelyn Moon Boundary Setting, Perfectionism & Money Confidence with Maddy Moon Michael Beckwith What is Ravishment?
